The Love of Snow Skiing

Why do people love to ski so much? I love to ski, and I find this question hard to answer. Maybe I love the to feel the cold, crisp air hit my face as I fly down the mountain. Maybe it's because I like to make sharp turns in the snow. Maybe I enjoy the challenge of such a dangerous sport. I cannot pinpoint why I love snow skiing so much, but I do love it!

I started skiied for the first time and went through ski school at Cataloochee Ski Resort in Maggie Valley, NC. It was from that day on that I became hooked on the hobby. Of course, the first time I went down the mountain I flew and only stopped by making quite a scene and busting at the bottom of the mountain. Since that first time down the mountain I have improved greatly, however I still have lots of room for improvement!
